AU: Another Record Broken by the Wii

Share.

Plus, a few new release dates.

By Cam Shea

The Wii notched up yet another record this week, becoming the fastest ever game system to reach 200,000 units sold in Australia. Nintendo's system achieved the feat in just 50 weeks, largely off the back of its mainstream appeal. Sales aren't expected to slow down any time soon, either, with Super Mario Galaxy (which was given a rave review by our US office) out on the 29th. Yes, it's less than a week away now!

In other Nintendo news, a few more release dates have been locked in. We already knew that Link's Crossbow Training would be available on December 13, the same date as Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, but now we know that Master of Illusion for DS will also be available on that date. A couple of titles have also been locked in for early next year. Endless Ocean for Wii and Sight Training: Enjoy Exercising and Relaxing Your Eyes for DS will both be available on January 17. Sadly, both the Wii's Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure and the DS' Advance Wars: Dark Conflict are yet to receive firm dates, but both are confirmed for the first quarter next year.
